Contested deletion

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because Kindlmann developed a number of important scientific visualization techniques, including tensor glyph methods and multidimensional transfer functions for visualizing volumetric data. He has over 5000 citations on Google Scholar for his work and is included in the Visualization Handbook (the "scientific visualization bible") several times. The quality and coverage of scientific visualization topics on Wikipedia is a bit lacking and I'm currently working to build it up. Deleting this article about a researcher with respected contributions in the real academic world but limited Wikipedia disciplinary coverage does not help. Tamara Munzner and Claudio Silva are examples of peers in this field with similarly important contributions but limited Wikipedia discipline coverage.

Take a look at WP:PROF for some ideas on how to get this article up to speed. reddogsix (talk) 17:52, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I am the subject of the page, new to Wikipedia, and unsure of best practices for suggesting or making changes to a page about me. I have a verified email address and would like to learn more. Orthotropic (talk) 17:27, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
